A former bachelor returns while Bachelorette Ashley and the three remaining bachelors visit Fiji.
This week, Ben, Constantine and JP hit up Fiji to further woo their lady. But they're not alone. After a brief recap of the last three standing, Ryan shows up out of the blue to make one last play for Ashley's heart. He sits her down and talks her ear off in an attempt to rekindle a spark. Ashley’s flame, however, might be decidedly snuffed. So she tells Ryan that she'll think about it, and shuffles him out the door. The Bachelorette Episode 8: Hometown Dates And Heartbreak
Straight from the lips of the world's most eligible bachelor, he won't be gettin' hitched soon.
Sorry, ladies! Don't expect another royal wedding any time soon. While touring London's Royal Hospital Chelsea's infirmary and saying hello to veterans, a Gunners Regiment member, 85-year-old William Titchsmarsh, decided to take the rare opportunity to ask Prince Harry a very interesting question: "When are you getting married?" (Seriously. Bless that man's heart.)
All these shows have one thing in common: constantly maxing out the drama to get the highest ratings. But this comes at a price: whether it's getting the latest Gucci shoes or the handsome pilot with a heart of gold, these shows constantly show people behaving at their worst. They usually ensure that there's plenty of booze to loosen tongues, and plenty of drama—real or artificial—to keep the show moving. But at the end of the day, are those models of behavior we want people to emulate?
TV's Bachelor/Bachelorette spinoff pits dumb vs. dumber, much to our dismay.
Never have I yelled at a television more than on last night's parade of idiocy that is Bachelor Pad. Though it started off a tad slow with the requisite yelling, making out and hot tubbing that is to be expected in a mansion full of overly emotional cry babies (and I'm not even talking about the ladies), it quickly revved up to a full-blown drama fest.
First of all, it's only episode two. Yet everyone is talking like they've been trapped in that mansion for ten years. This isn't so bad if you're a Cool Kid, an Insider—such as Elizabeth, Tenley and Natalie—and the Testosterone Triplets (Kiptyn, Dave, Kovacs) who love them.
The Bachelorette hometown dates prompted us to revisit what we learn from meeting a man's parents.
Episodes of The Bachelorette tend to be "the most shocking and dramatic yet"—thanks, Jake and Vienna—so we revel in the hometown dates episodes, which lean sweet rather than shocking. This week, on The Bachelorette, we got the hometown dates. Although Ali assured her bachelors that her decision had nothing to do with their families, we can't help but think that had Kirk's father been an avid coin collector instead, Kirk's chances of being in the final three might not have been so slim. Watching Ali's tearful goodbye, we got to thinking: how much can you tell about a significant other by meeting their family?
Learn from Bachelor Jake and Vienna: in a he said/she said breakup, don’t say anything at all.
Learn from the Jake and Vienna post-Bachelor interview: in the case of a he said/she said breakup, don’t say anything at all. When a relationship ends, it's natural to want to mention your loser ex to whoever will listen, but it may not necessarily be for the best. The following are some lies you might tell yourself to defend your trash-talkin', and our reasons why you should stop, drop the issue and simply walk away.
The Bachelorette got rid of Justin just in time. Here are signs a guy's not who he seems to be.
When we first met current Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky, she was leaving last season's The Bachelor to fulfill obligations to her job. This season, in what is arguably the most dramatic departure the show has seen, it was contestant Justin Rego's lying schemes that put a damper on Ali's search for Mr. Right. Here, 4 signs a guy is too good to be true.
A new study shows that married men have more money than bachelors. Why?
According to a new study by the Pew Research Center, married men are leading richer lives. Literally. Here's the breakdown: the median household income for married men has gone up by 60 percent since 1970, while the income for single men has only shot up by 16 percent. The trade-off for succumbing to a life limited to one sexual partner for the rest of one's life? Maybe. Though Pew has several other, more logical explanations.
The 10 best cities to live in if you're a single woman looking for a bachelor.
We live in New York City, where the man-to-woman ratio can be rough, so we had always assumed it was pretty much the worst American city to try to date and mate in. (From what we hear, Sydney also has a man drought.) But from what these very pretty girls were suggesting, Los Angeles was just as bad.
And not from just one of Jake's ladies, but two. This is the beginning of a wonderful season.
Jake the Pilot is ABC's latest Bachelor. You may remember Jake from last year's The Bachelorette, but a few of Jake's ladies this season are already becoming memorable for their own antics.
